I have a sign hanging in my home that reads something like this: Weird is a side effect of awesome. But I was standing several hundred miles away from that sign amid the latest imaging tech at the B&H Bild expo in New York City when I realized just how much the quote from Rebekah Crane applies to the photography world. Because if I had to pick just one word to represent all of the biggest trends in cameras right now, it would be something synonymous with weird.
From oddly-shaped gimbal cameras to digital shooters intentionally throttled for a more film-like feel, the expo floor was filled with unusual cameras alongside the latest tech innovations. As I wandered the show floor getting to touch and try the latest cameras, I realized the innovative and weird often go hand-in-hand.
